By Jared Norman If you’ve used a computer for more than 20 minutes you’ve probably heard about bits and bytes. Hard drives, computer chips, networks, and cables (like Cat5e or HDMI cables) often mention bits or bytes in their specifications. And comput
A byte is a collection of bits, most commonly eight bits. Bits are grouped into bytes to make computer hardware, networking equipment, disks and memory more efficient. Originally, bytes were created as eight bits because the common physical circuitry at the time had eight “pathways” in ...
A byte is a sequence of 8 bits (enough to represent one alphanumeric character) processed as a single unit of information. A single letter or character would use one byte of memory (8 bits), two characters would use two bytes (16 bits).Put another way,
Consider a sequence of 4 bytes, named W X Y and Z - I avoided naming them A B C D because they are hex digits, which would be confusing. So, each byte has a value and is made up of 8 bits. Byte Name: W X Y Z Location: 0 1 2 3 Value (hex): 0x12 0x34 0x56 0x78 Fo...

Data (bits and bytes, or marks on paper) is meaningless; it must be interpreted to create an abstract concept, like a number. Like humans, computers have different ways to store the same abstract concept. (i.e., we have many ways to say "ten": ten, 10, diez, etc.) ...
The documentation contains a couple of bits of information that suggest that your code has to maintain certain properties to ensure program correctness:memcpy copies the count of bytes from the source buffer to the destination buffer. The destination buffer must be at least as large as the source...
A normal IGMP packet consists of a 20-byte IP header and an 8-byte data part, equating to a total length of 28 bytes. An IGMP null payload packet, on the other hand, consists of less than 28 bytes. Processing IGMP null payload packets causes devices to encounter an error or ...
